Than an Man Utd fan from Ireland?
"I've supported them because my great grandad and his grandad all were die hards."
"I have each of the last 45 jerseys since football began in 1990."
"My dad has brought me to see them beat Charlton every season since 1999"
"Roy Keane (Keano boy) is the greatest person in the world, better than Viera, Gerrard and even Eamon Dunphy"
"I've never seen Utd play outside Old trafford because The Evening Herald doesn't advertise trips there"
"I can name every United player sice Brucey scored that goal on RTE versus Sheff Wed"
"I hate scousers, they cheat and have no jobs (heard some fans singing about them on TV3 when they played Kiev away)"
"Wenger is a winger"

I think that not even the return of John Giles as manager could be as bad as that bunch.

Well in the course of my research for my thesis last year I discovered that about 75% of primary school kids support Man Yoo so don't expect the problem to disappear in the short term. :eek:

Don't really talk about United much on here, but the below comment is trolling IMO.

:rolleyes:
.....and you think if United are bankrupted by a cash-strapped American idiot there won't be another football club to step in and take their mantle. Where do you're own allegiances lie anyway, do you dislike United because you see kids turning away from the EL, or what is it?
TROLLING???? please explain

Would that be the kids or the Club?? Personally either would be fine by me.
As a born and bred manc I have some sympathy with both sides of the arguement.
However, to me there is no difference between Irish United fans and another foreign club supporting Irish people. One set of barstoolers aren't somehow more knowledgable or "better" than another.
One thing worse than any of that list though is...
Oirish Arsenal/Liverpool/Siddy/Chelsea (infact any one who supports another English/Scottish team) taking the píss about United having no fans in Manchester and failing to see the irony that many have never visited the place of the team they proclaim to support, let alone actually "come from" there.
PS a few facts:
1) United have always had a tradition (rightly or wrongly) of a strong Irish following - it simple isn't a post 93 thing
2) Scousers are cheats and workshy.
3) Wenger is a Whinger

It can't really be trolling can it Tiktok when it's not a designated Man Utd board? It's general football after all?
"Mancunians have this great taste for life....you're Southern, you don't understand'"

the only thing mancunians have a taste for is pie, mash mushy peas and rain!

It'd be pie, chips and mushy peas. Better than jellied eels, and drinking a "cap" of tea anyday of the week.

Manchester is the equivalent of Athlone in Ireland, dull and boring,

Eh? Never met a manc who tries to be like Beckham - met plenty with Cóckney accents, and even more with the awful estuary accent. (Oh and that Pats fan as well)
Always makes me laugh, Mancunians have some perverse pride in their city!!!!
Any attack on it and they are off!!!!!!!

No problem here
They just make me laugh!

Going back to my roots - I'd rather do that than go on about them in another country. Why go an Irish Centre or Pub, when you can go to a real one anyday of the week?

Anyway, whats perverse about being proud of coming from the best city in the UK?
couldn't understand a word of that
i'm not fluent in mancunian bog
this is too much really
best city??????? do me a favour!
the best thing to come out of Manchester is Mike Baldwin,
And he's a southerner!
You have more enemies than Osama bin Laden has mother in laws

You are a star.
I'd love to know more about you? What age are you? What do you do in Longford?
I can see it now, Shaun Ryder sitting in the corner of the local on Monday morning, sipping a pint of Boddingtons reading the Longford Leader and Cantona's autoboigraphy
We'll have a laugh on the board on Monday. Me merry

Either way, you might find this site has not fallen to the 'new man who opens up to his friends' way of thinking just yet. Unless, you take in to account recent posts from $leon$, jamaican pm et al, that is. It's still all footie, music, computers and cars I'm afraid

But thats true :confused:
Celtic fans are probably worse Brice, coz they think that Glasgow is in Ireland. At least Man Yoo fans know that Manchester is in a different country.

Great first post!
Substitute manure for liverpool and you have same problem.
Friend of mine thinks they should be all blowtorched!! Bit extreme but IMO they are a disgrace.
Ask one of them "If Ireland were playing england who would you support?" When they answer Ireland then ask "If manure were playing an Irish club who would you support?" When they answer manure point out the hypocrisy.
More hypocrisy is when they slag off the EL. They dont seem to understand that our league would improve if, instead of spending thousands of sterling annually, they actually supported their local club.
They are all sheep too. The real reason they "support" manure or wankpool is because EVERYONE ELSE DOES. How pathetic. Look at that west brit rag known as the herald on a wednesday. A whole page dedicated to muppets like york supporters club Ireland FFS.
Bottom line if you're Irish support an Irish club.
KOH
Troy I couldn't agree more mate.
Celtic fans slagging of EPL fans gets on my t1ts
fair point hoop
i think that the standard of footie in Ireland is poor though. As a rovers fan i'm sure you are more aware than most of that (no dig intended there)
The 3rd placed team in our league played rovers in a pre season 2 years ago and only lost 2-0
The glamour of the epl is a big draw against that backdrop.

Lincoln??????????? :confused:
Whatever floats your boat, strange choice though!
I think the urban rural debate is not for here but personally i could only live in the suburbs of a city. Inner city is too grubby, rural life too quiet for me

That's exactly what I hate.
I mean, I'm in no position to knock anyone who follows a foreign team. Have been to a few Leeds United games, and follow them, and also delighted to see Barca at the top of the Spanish League.
It's the crowd that sneer at the game here, no matter what club they like abroad, that I hate.
That's because they're sheep. If andy gray said jump into a barrel of paint they'd do it. They sneer at the league cos it's popular with the other muppets in the boozer.
Any english jersies that are sold to santa should be €100 with half the price going to the local EL team as a sort of tax :D

Wouldnt take much notice of pre season friendlies though. Hardly a yardstick when comparing standards.

I think it's only natural for an Irish person who genuinely loves/likes/has an interest in football to follow what goes on in England. The standard of football is quite good (albeit a bit down the rankings on a worldwide level) and it's the nearest top class league to us. The games are good to watch.
What I now don't understand is how people develop this wholehearted sense of belonging to one of the clubs there. I say 'now' because years ago, i was the same. And just because it was handed down to me from my brother. I realise of course that the feeling of being part of or belonging to a club is far more real when you can see the team in action on a regular basis. They play, train and live in areas you know and can relate to. And they represent a place you love. It's not an arbitrary choice of club. People that you know and love are being represented by this club so it's almost that you have a duty to support it.
can't see them in the fai to be honest!
are you one of the stone island rovers crew?
Going back to my roots - I'd rather do that than go on about them in another country. Why go an Irish Centre or Pub, when you can go to a real one anyday of the week?
Maybe yer should've spent a bit more time in some of Manchesters Irish centres or pubs, it might've saved you from getting caught up in all this english regional rivalries that most of us 2G's find totally foreign, plus it might've saved you from getting your b@lls busted by Brice. :D
